The president left the country on January 19 this year for a vacation, during which he had routine medical check-ups.

The holiday was extended based on doctors' recommendation for further tests and rest.

A statement by his Special Adviser, Media and Publicity Femi Adesina says the president expressed appreciation to teeming Nigerians from across the country, and beyond, who had prayed fervently for him, and also sent their good wishes.

Earlier yesterday the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby paid a visit to the president in London.
